Thanks , still thinking. But sub look small while 312 look big n better .

It's a purely subjective choice. I know some people who think 36mm is their sweet spot and find the thought of wearing anything larger than that absurd. :lol:

Just spotted this; should it not have 3 screws?

Ouch. I was so impressed with the dial and case that I've only just got around to really looking at the movement.

Why is it missing a screw on the rotor. I own a VSF441 ceramica. I've had it for about two months now I wear every day. For my work I am a sheet-metal fabricator, and pharmaceutical tig welder. So I wear this watch I work with this watch one every day. So far I have no scratches, I've had to regulate the timing, but since I've regulated 15+/- sec a day. Very happy with this watch

You wear the watch while tig welding? That must look bad-ass. :D

The submarine was offered by the TDs while stocks last so if you didn't get one, it is most likely because they ran out of it.

that sounds more logical. TD's earlier explanation was that the sub was only bundled with 441, but seeing others getting with 312 - makes me wondering.

I am guessing what happened was, VSF supplied the subs with the first release PAM441, which sold like hotcakes, then when VSF gave them the PAM312, the dealers got to thinking, why don't we offer the sub with the PAM312 to push the watch out that much faster? It's not like they were bound to selling the subs with the PAM441, the PAM312 was still a VSF release so the dealers didn't think VSF would mind. A sale for VSF is a sale for VSF, irregardless of the model. ;)

I did ask my TD about the subs, they said they were out of stock on them. So it might be dependent on the TDs sone might be out while some still have a few around.
